Will Ron Paul hit $20,000,000 by New Years?
 

Supporters of Ron Paul are having a New Years' Eve money bomb (http://donate2008.org/). They hope Ron Paul will raise $20,000,000 in total donations by New Years day.

Will Ron Paul reach $20,000,000 by New Years day?

it doesnt matter, if he doesnt show decent at the primaries.

Not only is funding important, but also the monitoring of votes being counted. Monitoring votes is tough to do considering 3/4 of them are done behind closed doors.

you're right. ron paul is insignificant because there are vast conspiracies everywhere against him.

thats right.

thats why he can't possibly get the nomination, nor was he ever even trying to.

lets just ignore the fact that he is a radical lunatic with a semi-decent message and an impossibly shitty ability to communicate it and get the people that matter on board. that won't have anything at all to do with it.

Pleasurepays: since you're so remarkably in-tune and exceptionally gifted, perhaps you could be kind enough to bless us with the answer to who is running that is not a lunatic?

they are all assholes by nature. anyone that wants to be elected is the worst person for the job.

its not the candidates as much as its the fact that people think that some guy, who is not even a republican by philosophy/politics, representing the republican party, who acts more like a libertarian and whos answer to everything is to dismantle government, is going to stand a chance at getting the republican nomination.

ron paul has a lot of ideas that i (and many people) might agree with philosophically, but politics is about leadership,... its about having a vision and communicating that vision.

its about effectively letting everyone know "hey, with me, everything's going to be better than ever" and letting them know that he is the best guy to bring the parties together to make those changes happen.

presidents aren't benevolent and all powerful kings. they simply represent one branch of the federal government. you can't promise that you will dismantle the IRS on day one of your presidency, for example and not expect people to have a few concerns.

and no one that supports Ron Paul is capable of rational debate or discussion. ultimately, they will start calling everyone brainwashed by the media for not "getting it" and thats why they never seem to understand that they are the biggest problem in Ron Pauls message.

a presidential hopeful basically says "i'm going to dismantle most of the federal government" as a response to almost any issue... and yet, supporters can't understand why thats something that should be called into question.

Furthermore, he NEVER intended to get the nomination. he's not even trying to. he's simply out there communicating a new message... but he will NEVER get the nomination for the republican party.... YET no Ron Paul supporter wants to accept that.
